Dan green sinks the bar into his chest a lot. Might want to try his technique.

I've actually thought about that lately. Once in awhile I get winded and just rest the bar on my chest, never bothers me.

Watch his bench. It looks like he completely relaxes losing arch and everything. Upon the bench command, BOOM! ARCH! DRIVE! and the bar bounces up and he seems to just finish with his triceps. That bar sinks DEEP dough.

Nothing in the rules says you can't as long as your ass stays on the bench. He just asks that you inform the judges you are a "sinker" in the rules meeting.

Dan Green admits that sinking is a way to "cheat" by using his body to push the bar out of the hole and then use that momentum to drive the bar up. Just make sure your leg drive is on point or you may get pinned. Also you are correct, it's not against the rules

My new PRs! There really should be 3 of them for this post, but I got a little nervous after grinding out 275 for my 2nd attempt on bench. I lowered my planned 3rd attempt from 285 to 280 to ensure a meet PR but the 280 went up faster than 275 did.

Anyways, since I don't use wraps anymore and just sleeves, I'm resetting my squat PR. Last May, I established my raw squat PR with 380 but wasn't able to get video since I was competing solo. Today, I added 5 lbs to that while being 20lbs lighter. I wasn't planning on testing my lowbar but hip felt fine after not lowbar squatting for a bunch of weeks.
